Stuck In Prague

Still on the story that Cohen was in Prague in the summer of 2016: Lots of alternatives here, including spoofing and missing cell phones.

BONUS PARANOIA: Suppose Russian Intelligence decided to exploit Hillary's paranoia and opportunism by spoofing a meeting with Cohen, hoping to spark a Obama-approved investigation of his political opposition with resulting finger-pointing, division, and de-legitimization. Mission Accomplished!

I love how all these socialist progs tell people like Graham to suck it up and go start his own Facebook if he doesn't like FB's policies.
They may be too stupid or dishonest to know socialism would make that impossible but we're not.

I like Catron’s writing as well, Ig. I guess I was a Cruz guy early on but as has been discussed here ad infinitum, he and every other R besides the Drumpf would have lost big to the utterly corrupt, fat-assed Hilligula. Thus, I’m forever in his debt.

Democratic Indiana Sen. Joe Donnelly said Saturday morning that Democrats need to avoid lurching to the left or risk alienating middle America. He’s the second outgoing Democratic lawmaker to issue such warning.

Medicare-for-all and other traditionally left-wing ideas are too politically poisonous to sell in red states, the Indiana senator told CNN in a sit-down interview. Democrats need to do a better job of connecting with voters in middle America, Donnelly added.

“We have not made enough of a connection … that the people of my state understand culturally, we (Democrats) want to make sure you succeed,” he said. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont has pushed hard to make climate change and Medicare-for-all a high dollar issue for Democrats.

Watch that demolition of Irish in our club sitting in the Bistro. But guess what, I am a person of different loyalties and one of those is not Bryan Kelly. He left Cincy when it was on the rise. Just Like he left Central Michigan. If anyone is to blame is that that opportunistic asshole.He is no Lou Holtz or Parseghian, or Delaney.

So I’m prepping for dinner and turn back to the TV to see Bama give up a fumble on the goal line. Go back to my prep for a bit just to return to the game to see Bama on the goal line to score. I don’t think having Big Game Bob Stoops on the OU sideline is gonna help much tonight.

I have never understood why underdogs like OU would defer the kickoff to the 2nd half. They did and now they are living the effects. When I was playing, if our Captain did something like that Chuck Studley would not only kick him off the team but suspend his scholarship. It is a stupid move, and seems to be de rigiuer in both college and pro football. But why? Because you look harder, tougher, and winning on TV? BS.

Looks like an early night. Bama in charge. OU facing defense they have never seen in their lifetime as players. So, how many Bama-Tigers national championship games will this make? If I am a big time HS football player who wants to prepare for the NFL, why would I play for a team not in the South?

Yes, I know, the pros are from all the conferences and teams but most are from teams in the south. Better weather, and it measns more down in Florida, Georgia and Texas.

My vote for most effective POTUS would be University of North Carolina Chapel Hill Tarheel gradJames Knox Polk. He accomplished all of his four goals (successful Oregon territory negotiations with Great Britain, lower tariffs, restructuring Treasury system that lasted until the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, and successfully end of the kerfuffle with Mexico over New Mexico and California. Then he didn't run for reelection and died. Talk about efficient use of time!

If someone has a heart attack on a plane a podiatrist is quite a ways down in the emergency hierarchy.

Just for info, the company has started installing emergency defibrillators on our planes but we haven't gone through training yet on how to use them. One of our boys a few years back who did have a huge pain in his chest during a flight, later diagnosed as a heart attack, reached in his bag and took aspirin which he said helped, so the word passed to us is to carry a bottle of aspirin that is immediately accessible. I'll let Anonamom tell us if that is legitimate "Old Wives Tale" pseudo-wisdom, or a placebo.

I agree OSU would be a better choice tha OU. At least they know the concept of defense. This is becoming embarrssing but not enough to keep me from bed.

Slaap lekker, tot morgen.

We send Frederick down to Miami, Key Biscayne, tomorrow for the rest of his holiday. Then on the secoind he flies up to Hartford for going back to school. Starts Thursday, the 3rd. Great to have him and watch him picl up his golf game.

In the next two years, thru the 2020 election, I expect the cell phones of nearly every campaign worker pop up on the cell towers of countries all over the world.
In intelligence, when you feed into this sort of stuff, you get more of it.
